    BASE numbers

    I agree... I feel the same way about riding a street bike for any length of time, and feel that the following applies to BASE as well...as soon as you think you've got the bike (base) beat/mastered, it's gonna bite ya... -704 aka; El Victimus Maximus You can get a lot more done with a kind word and a gun than with a kind word alone.
  2. 'Twas the most feasible option of what was available at the time...I really don't think it makes a fuck...it ain't goin' nowhere... If it really bothers you, epoxy the switch to the helmet, and forget about it...I personally didn't do so, as a cameye malfunction requiring replacement as the fix is not out of the question...

  3. yep... just gotta plug the cameye in before ya lock down the camera...not a big deal You can get a lot more done with a kind word and a gun than with a kind word alone.

    Hey Mick... Thanx for givin' me credit for the "BASE patch" photo you posted on Blinc... You can get a lot more done with a kind word and a gun than with a kind word alone.
  5. You don't have to... I initially had mine hooked up with all the wiring just neatly taped down to the outside of the helmet...realized it just wasn't neat enough for me. You can get a lot more done with a kind word and a gun than with a kind word alone.
  6. Very nicely. When I get a chance, I'll get a pic... You can get a lot more done with a kind word and a gun than with a kind word alone.

  8. I don't know. You can get a lot more done with a kind word and a gun than with a kind word alone.
  9. Does it look like I have? The setup is new...It'll be trimmed after I put a couple jumps on it. If it ever warms up. You can get a lot more done with a kind word and a gun than with a kind word alone.

    Minimum height

    After much debate, I believe it was decided that a BASE jump has to start with a packed parachute. Works for me... You can get a lot more done with a kind word and a gun than with a kind word alone.

    Opening Heading

    I already had a discussion with one other individual about this, and the jump you're talkin' about was a slider up pack job (into a headwind, no less)...a totally different story altogether. I said that yes, I did see the oscillation, but did not see any heading problems caused by p/c oscillation alone. All of the slider down jumps were on...Slider up pack jobs with deployments at low air speed are notorious for off-headings, and therefore should be avoided on short delays with object strike potential. I don't see how a vented pilot chute would have changed the outcome of any of those jumps, and personally, I haven't been all that thrilled with what little vented p/c action I've seen. As all the big boys say: this is only my opinion, and I am no authority on any of this... Oh, and don't try this stuff at home...it's dangerous You can get a lot more done with a kind word and a gun than with a kind word alone.
  15. speaking of "codec". Error message shown when attempting to play one particular mpeg: "Class Factory cannot supply requested class". Flashes something about "searching codec". Windows media player will play other mpegs for me... just not this one...any ideas? You can get a lot more done with a kind word and a gun than with a kind word alone.

  18. You got it. Over here everybody is so sue happy that we can no longer have any fun... It's time for some accountability in this country. It's perfectly legal to throw yourself off of many objects all over the world.The U.S. has few legal sites. Go figure... Wait...Isn't it the U.S. that was nicknamed "The land of the free"?

  19. I understand the oscillating p/c theory, but can't see where that comes in to play here...I didn't see any off headings that i would attribute to p/c performance You can get a lot more done with a kind word and a gun than with a kind word alone.
  20. "Double Malfunction" by E.P. Gottschalk. I just started it, and have not even formed an opinion on it yet. I'm also a big Stephen King reader...just finished "From A Buick 8" You can get a lot more done with a kind word and a gun than with a kind word alone.

    I'm tending to lean towards the "B" on this one, but that tune'll probably change as soon as I hit one. You can get a lot more done with a kind word and a gun than with a kind word alone.
  24. Check out this short video of some of the highlights from last year [www.rodriguezbrothers.com/Videopage.htm] scroll down to base by blair, lemme know what you think, my editing sucks and none of the jumps were actually in Mexico.
